I have like zero time so I"m going to copy/paste the note I sent to friends and family here.

I got a "wild hair" and did something today, that I'd been thinking about doing for a LONG time. Here goes....

Me at noon today. This is not the most flattering shot, at ALL. I'd had a ponytail, had NOT fixed my hair at ALL or even washed it, had been chasing kids around the playground all morning, hardly any makeup, yucky lighting...am actually feeling pretty BRAVE to even post it here, but you get the idea!! A "before" shot!



Now here I am after 4 hours at the salon.

Oh, I love it! It is a beautiful color---and very flattering on you. It's a very rich color. It looks sexy on you!

What did your husband think?

I love love love dark hair. Look how it warms up your complexion! You look less like a "mom" and more like a moviestar, I swear. Looks so polished. I hope you're happy with it!

WELL - it makes my green eyes really stand out, not that you can see that here. Hubby is adjusting, it is a lot darker than he thought it was going to be, said he feels like he is cheating on his wife! LOL! But he is cool. Luke was surprisingly fine with it, says I look like Princess Jasmine. Aaron is scared of me and hides his face! Sarah loves it and keeps touching it.

It is going to take some serious getting used to but I'm THRILLED I did it, don't see myself ever going back.

Thanks so much for all the compliments, I appreciate it. I keep going back past the mirror!!

WOW! Being partial to brunettes(he he)I think it looks great on you! Very different than before. I can see why hubby thinks he's cheating You look like a completely different person. Hey have fun with that!!!

BTW: EVERY blonde I know that decided to go dark, ALWAYS,ALWAYS, changes back to blonde I'm telling ya, guys look at blondes first! However, it's been said, guys will cheat with blondes but marry brunettes

but she did what I told her to - go with the color of my brows with reddish highlights, very subtle. He's liking it, though he does feel like he's picked up a new brunette mistress. I've always been blonde!

Honestly--it rocks! It has energy, attitude...a certain Michelle Mystique! Truly--smooth move. Gorgeous. You WEAR IT, rather than it wearing you.

Now, you must buy shoes to match this style! Somehow, this screams for new shoes.

Now...go show it off!

When my son was 4, I bought these rollers that would make me look like I had a spiral perm. Just looking at the rollers made him freak out in the middle of Wal-Mart!

In his eyes, my hair should be straight and straight only!

He is now 11 and still offer his opinion...he'd better marry a very strong woman!

Wow, this is the third post about new hair that I have replied to in like 10 minutes, hee hee! Everyone is getting a change!

I think it looks awesome, I really do. I think that darker hair can look so striking when it's changed from blonde colours. It is drastic, but I think it's a very good drastic!

I just love your hair, in all the pictures you've posted! And it looks very shiney!

Yay for another excellent new 'do!!

Cheers,

--Steph
